Ancelotti crime family

The Ancelotti crime family is an American Mafia syndicate based in New York City, New York. The family was founded in the 1900s by immigrants from Naples, Italy, and the family made Jersey City and Little Italy its territories. During the 1970s, the Ancelottis went to war with the Gambetti crime family, and the Don of the family was spared by Gambetti member Jon Gravelli in 1972. The Ancelottis became the weakest of the New York crime families over the years, going to war with the Pegorino crime family due to the Pegorinos' anger that they were not allowed on The Commission. By 2008, the family was also at war with the Gambettis and the Messina crime family, and it resorted to hiring Albanian Mob enforcers as muscle. Don Giovanni Ancelotti did business with the Russian Mafia, and the family sought Russian protection after the Albanians were framed for the murders of Anthony Spoleto and Frank Garone, who were actually executed by the Pegorinos' Irish Mob allies. The family was weakened after many of its made members were killed by the Pegorinos and the Irishmen, and the downfall of Ray Bulgarin and Dimitri Rascalov led to the family losing its support.
